The Violent crackdown on #FreedomConvoy2022 has nothing to do with freedom of speech and human rights. How coercion could be related to liberty & freedom of choice? #TruckersForFreedom
… me thinks this will not end well.
Lest there be problems with interpretation. This song from Drowning Pool is about Mosh Pits. Of course one might argue that the world has become a Mosh Pit.
Yeah but they were running to Canada to escape America. Now there is nowhere to run.
… even if apocryphal this thought might need be heeded by those in power (for the time being) making certain decisions …
… I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve. - Isoroku Yamamoto (apocryphal attribution)
Yes Scarmoge, but we knew that such ‘resolve’ would be part of the picture going forward, didn’t we? It’s not going to suddenly ‘get better’ anytime soon, sadly, though voicing that view fills me with more resolve to stand and fight however one can.
As for a musical accompaniment to this madness, I will always go back to the original ‘dystopian’ (nothing dystopian about the music, more a comment on the lyrical content!) musical accompaniment to our current world situation. King Crimson’s original classic, from 1969 
Since we’re on the topic of dystopian songs, nothing says it like Gary Jules Mad World. This needs to be a thread in and onto itself.
OK…pushing the thread as you suggest; this one’s not dystopian, more a kind of call to arms of sorts, or at least a wish in that direction, ‘one of these days’
Frank Zappa with The Mothers of Invention:
The last few lines of “It Can’t Happen Here”
“Suzy, you just got to town, and we’ve been,
we’ve been very interested in your development,
since you first took the shots.
Forget it!
It can’t happen here
Can’t happen here
Can’t happen here
